Objects and Subject Compliments
Hey, can indirect objects, predicate nominatives, or predicate adjectives be in prepositional phrases?
Here is a sentence:
We follow school fads in dress, slang, and behavior.
Are "dress", "slang", and "behavior" all indirect objects even though they are in a prepositional phrase?
Thanks.

No, those are not indirect objects. An indirect object is almost always the person to whom something is said or given or for whom something is done. Tell me a story.
